IV. Basic structure and height of wall panels
The basic structure of wall panels includes: top line, upper and lower wall panels, waist line, and skirting line. Supplemented by Roman columns, carved panels, hollowed-out panels, wallpapers, soft bags, etc. for beautification.
There are generally two methods for the height of wall panels:
Semi-high type, also called wainscoting, generally has a height of 900mm, 1000mm, 1200mm.
Full-height type: As high as the wall is, it is made as high as possible and fully covered.
V. Common wall panel combination forms
Combination with wallpaper, combination with soft bag, combination with wine cabinet, combination with bookcase, combination with wardrobe, combination with hidden door, combination with door opening without a door, combination with background wall, combination with stairs.
VI. Key points for wall panel measurement
1. For wall panel measurement, it is best to have the site leveled with multi-layer boards in advance, and determine the horizontal line position and ceiling height.
2. Draw a floor plan and elevation view of the house type (especially for complex house types). Determine the production area, and then measure one by one according to the actual details.
3. Consider the positional relationship with other components as a whole (such as door pocket, door opening without a door, background wall, cabinet, staircase opening, etc.) to accurately calculate the size and quantity.
4. Consider the connection relationship with other components and appropriately set aside a reserved amount to facilitate on-site installation.
5. When determining the detailed dimensions of the wall panel, factors such as internal corners, external corners, wall panel thickness, skirting line, waist line, and top line height must be considered.
VII. Key points for wall panel installation
1. Keep the wall clean: Before installation, the wall should be clean, dry and flat, and the height should be leveled by elastic line; in order to adapt to the local climate conditions, after unpacking and packaging the wall panel, it is best to place it on site for at least 48 hours before installation.
2. Design the size in advance: Before installation, each partition should be squared and straightened and then trial-installed once. After adjustment, it can be officially nailed to avoid disordered patterns, uneven colors, unstraight corners, incorrect sizes, uneven surfaces, black lines at joints and loose joints on the surface layer.
3. Pull the line to check the top plate: Before operation, pull the line to check whether the top of the wall panel is straight. If there is a problem, correct it in time. Avoid uneven thickness, uneven height and splitting of the wall panel top strip.
4. The wall needs to be moisture-proof: Since wood products all have a certain moisture content. If the wall is damp, construction should be carried out after drying or moisture-proof treatment should be done: such as making a moisture-proof layer on the wall first and painting waterproof and moisture-proof coatings; leaving air vents on the upper and lower parts of the wall panel, etc.;
5. There should be gaps on the panel surface: The height difference on the surface of the wall panel should be less than 0.5mm; the width of the gap between the panels should be uniform, and the dimensional deviation should not be greater than 2mm; the diagonal length deviation of a single panel should not be greater than 2mm; the verticality deviation of the panel should not be greater than 2mm.
6. The internal and external corners should be horizontal and vertical: The internal and external corners of the wall panel are the key and difficult points in construction and should be paid special attention to. The internal and external corners must be vertical and horizontal, and the butt joint should be 45°.
7. The skirting board and batten should be close to the panel: The skirting board and batten should be close to the panel and there should not be too large a gap. The nail spacing for fixing the skirting board or batten is generally not more than 300mm; the nail cap should be flattened, and the depth into the strip should be 0.5-1.0mm. The nail hole should be filled with the same color oily putty.
